SRS Air Bags

NOTE



  The system requires about 10 seconds to alternate between turning the passenger front 

and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system on or off.



  The passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may turn on repeatedly if luggage or 

other items are put on the passenger seat, or if the temperature of the vehicle's interior 

changes suddenly.



  The passenger air bag deactivation indicator light may turn on for 10 seconds if the 

electrostatic capacity on the passenger seat changes.



  The air bag/seat belt pretensioner system warning light might turn on if the passenger 

seat receives a severe impact.



  If the passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on after installing a 

child-restraint system on the passenger seat, first, re-install your child-restraint system 

according to the procedure in this owner's manual. Then, if the passenger air bag 

deactivation indicator light still does not turn on, and consult an Authorized Mazda 

Dealer as soon as possible.



  If the passenger air bag deactivation indicator light turns on when an occupant is seated 

directly in the passenger seat, have the passenger re-adjust their posture by sitting 

with their feet on the floor, and then re-fastening the seat belt. If the passenger air bag 

deactivation indicator light remains turned on, slide the passenger seat as far back as 

possible. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
